Full of Glee for a Low Calorie Recipe

Does anyone else feel like there is a ridiculous number of birthdays in the months of August, September and October? Not only was my big day last week, but I've already been to two birthday dinners for other people in the past two days alone. How am I supposed to keep my girlish figure when I'm constantly forced to attend b-day celebrations??Along those lines, though, I baked a cake last night in honor of a friend's birthday. And it was all sorts of tasty! And the the best part is, it was sweetened with sucralose so it's low in calories. Woot!

And now that we've discussed sugar-free dieting, can we stray from that topic just long enough to discuss my new favorite show? Have any of you been watching Glee, the new comedy-drama television series on Fox? If not, please do yourselves a favor and start tuning in. I've been hooked since the pilot, but each week I'm falling more and more in love with the show. So far, musical numbers have featured songs ranging from Queen to Journey to Bell Biv Devoe...now you know. Hee. Anyway, last night's episode was the best one yet, mostly because it featured the amazing Kristin Chenoweth as Will's former high school crush. Between the tear-inducing "Maybe This Time," the fantastic version of Heart's "Alone," and the final number, Queen's "Somebody to Love," well, let's just say it's official, y'all...I'm hooked! That show-stopping Queen cover was just about one of the best things I've seen on television in a long time. Don't take my word for it, though. Check it out yourself. And please start watching...I don't want to see this show also go the way of my dearly departed Pushing Daisies.

I just came across your blog while I was searching for sugar free red velvet cake recipes, and I just wanted to say that this is completely wonderful. As another southern girl with a Glee obsession who's made that Died and Gone to Heaven Chocolate Cake on several occasions, I genuinely appreciate any media that combines so many of my own seemingly disparate passions. So, thanks :) And I'm looking forward to reading more!

About Me

I'm a former print reporter who recently moved into the world of communications for the slightly larger paycheck and increased work stability. By day, I work for several associations - including the Calorie Control Council - and attempt to bring a little humor into the non-profit sector. By night, I can be found visiting cheap ethnic restaurants, dive bars with a diverse draft selection or trying to find one of the three cabs that seem to circulate around Atlanta. I'm writing this blog to chronicle my recent adoption of a healthier, sugar-free lifestyle as well as to encourage others to take similar steps. For both personal and professional reasons, I aim to stay informed about the latest low-calorie lifestyle news, research and trends. If you're looking for tips and advice on sugar-free eating, as well as pithy observations on a range of topics, then you're visiting the right blog!
